    Great Day Trip

    I recommend this as a way of relieving the pressure of the constant street vendors hassling you in Cartagena. It’s worth it for a day trip

    Best beach club option in cartagena

    Perfect selection for an intimate tropical getaway. Food is delicious!!!! The amenities and included elements to the reservation are fantastic , and you get access to the whole property with plenty of great views. Also! The boat ride back to shore is not as bad as other options in Rosario islands

    Response from the operator: Hi Sophia! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the intimate tropical atmosphere, the delicious food, the views, and all our included amenities. We are also especially glad to hear the boat ride back was smooth—we know how important a comfortable trip back to shore is after a relaxing day in paradise! It was a true pleasure hosting your getaway, and we hope to welcome you back Warm regards,

    The whole experience was...

    The whole experience was great but I would look into booking directly with the resort. I am not sure all of the items added up is more than what this ticket is and its not like you really got anything extra. I upgraded the massage which is very much worth it. You also can't go swimming in the ocean because it is so rocky which is definitely a bummer. I wish I knew before choosing this beach club. It is also chill vibes on the weekdays/ family friendly so be prepared for that as well.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your honest feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the 'chill vibes'. Regarding your comments on the beach, Blue Apple is indeed located on a beautiful but rocky coastline, which is why the pool area is such a popular spot for our guests. We appreciate you mentioning this to help future travelers prepare. Regarding the booking, at Impulse Travel we strive to provide a seamless experience that includes pre-arranged logistics and our full support team to handle any changes or needs during your trip. However, we take your value-for-money feedback seriously and will review our inclusions to ensure we continue offering the best possible experience. We hope you had a relaxing time in Cartagena!

    Day trip resort on small beach with gorgeous pool, great food, friendly staff.

    Cute modern resort located on the quiet southwest side of Bombas Island which is visible from Cartegena. Several seating options available. Poolside lounges are more sunny and close to music. Can get rowdy if a tour boat shows up in the afternoon. Garden lounges are closer to beach under palm trees and more quiet. Beachside huts are closest to beach but exposed to wandering vendors. Beach is small and no other tourists around. Ocean is warm and clear. Food was surprisingly good. Staff are super friendly. Pool is large and gorgeous. Not the cheapest day trip well worth the money.

    Response from the operator: Peter : Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed Blue Apple Beach and found the balance between relaxation, great food, and a beautiful setting well worth it. Your tips about the different lounge areas are spot on and very helpful for future travelers. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to welcome you again in Cartagena soon 💛

    Avoid This Tour at All Costs

    This was the worst and most overpriced experience I have had in Cartagena. The service does not match the cost. Communication with the operator was inconsistent from the start. We were told pickup was at 9:15am, but the driver arrived early with no notice and rushed us out. After being dropped at the marina, we waited another 1 hour and 15 minutes before the boat finally departed. When we arrived at the island, no one greeted us, and staff responses were slow, sometimes taking over an hour. The “beach” is basically nonexistent: rocky, no sand, and poorly maintained both onshore and in the water. Overall, the experience was disappointing and not worth the time or money.

    Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.

    How much does Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena cost?

    +

    Prices start at $188 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cartagena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cartagena is not rushed.

    Is Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cartagena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena?

    +

    Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cartagena can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cartagena and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cartagena within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cartagena?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cartagena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena Antigua & Barrio Getsemani group with audio system, Cartagena VIP Boat Tour: Rosario Islands & Snorkel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cartagena?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cartagena?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena?

    +

    Included: 15-minute relaxing massage; Lunch; Welcome cocktail upon arrival; Snacks; and Bottled water. Not included: Additional food or beverages beyond the included items; Water sports activities (snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking); Docking fee, Isla Tierra Bomba; and Gratuities.

    +

    What languages is Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena?

    +

    Is Blue Apple Beach Day: Sun, Music & Adventure from Cartagena wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
